Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A client presents in the emergency room with a penetrating eye injury. The object is still present in the eye. Which nursing action is priority?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Stabilize the object. This is the priority action because stabilizing the object helps prevent further damage to the eye and surrounding tissues. Moving or removing the object without proper stabilization can cause more harm. Applying anesthetic drops (
B) is not the priority as it can temporarily relieve pain but does not address the risk of further injury. Removing the object (
C) should only be done by a healthcare provider to avoid causing additional damage. Applying eye ointment (
D) is not appropriate until the object is stabilized and the eye is examined by a healthcare provider.
